Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

They're polling very poorly among Muslims.

The problem is that Muslims are a minority voting population. They only effect the race in a few states. Biden was so bad that he was hurting Democrats in every state.

I just don't think Democrats will do anything to chase Muslim voters. They'd rather help Republicans eliminate them.

I half agree. They are small in number but they have a huge advantage that they primarily live in swing states where all votes matter. If they lived in a blue state you would be completely right.

I just don’t think Democrats will do anything to chase Muslim voters. They’d rather help Republicans eliminate them.

In the end it really comes down to whether Democrats feel enough pressure before the election to take action. If Trump keeps flopping and crashing in the election they hold little power. If the polls are super close there's a chance Democrats will be forced to take action just like how they dumped Biden.
